Home healthcare for new kitten NEEDED
Sep 13, 2008

Hi Friends,

Hubby and I finally got a new kitten. She was barely weaned when her mother was hit by a car near our village and our local small-grocer rescued her -- until hubby saw her. She is barely 2 months old and has long gray fur. Oddly, she has a unusally short tail. Her name is GraciAnn Comfort. Of course, she's had no shots, etc. (nor can we afford them). She did let me bath her, though and did not even flinch.

Can anyone tell me how we might clean her ears of mites -- using stuff we may have around the house?!? Thanks for your concern!!!

P.S. What type of paints would be safe to use when painting cats?

Congress Demands Rove Testimony on Attorney Firings
Congressional committees are now demanding the testimony of Karl Rove in the investigation into reasons behind the firings of eight US attorneys. Senator Charles Schumer, who has helped lead the Senate Judiciary Committee's examination of the dismissals of the federal prosecutors, cited new reports connecting Rove to those who wanted to oust at least one of the US attorneys.
Dems Abandon War Authority Provision (?!?)

Treasury Casts a Wide Net Under Patriot Act
Under a little-noticed provision in the USA Patriot Act, the Treasury Department has ordered severe restrictions against foreign banks or countries for reasons beyond the stated purpose of the law and without producing evidence.
David Bacon | Guest Workers Fired After Protesting Slavelike Conditions
David Bacon writes: "Hundreds of guest workers from India are protesting conditions in a Pascagoula, Mississippi shipyard that immigrant-rights activists compare to slavery. Many gathered in a church on March 11 in this Gulf Coast port after their employer, Signal International, threatened to send some of the workers home. Signal is a large corporation that repairs and services oil-drilling platforms around the world."
Proposed UN Women's Agency Gains Key Ally
A coalition of more than 140 international, non-governmental organizations and women's groups is gratified that Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is expressing public support for the creation of a new UN agency for women.
A Quarter of US War Vets Diagnosed With Mental Disorder (How deplorable!!!!!)

And when psychosocial disorders such as domestic violence were taken into account, the number of war veterans suffering from mental illnesses rose to 31 percent.
J. Sri Raman | Bush's Democracy Project in Bangladesh and Nepal
J. Sri Raman writes: "Who says that President George Bush and his men and women promote democracy only by destructive wars? They do so also through creative, unconventional diplomacy. Look at their latest achievements in Bangladesh and Nepal. In both these countries bordering India, whose ruling establishment is enlisted in the Bush crusade to save democracy (especially 'emerging' democracies), the cause has hit a major roadblock. And it is representatives of Washington who has placed a mega-sized boulder on the path to much-awaited elections in both cases."

VIDEO | Canaries in the Mine: Inuit Warn World of Human Cost of Climate Change
A Report by Sari Gelzer and Kelpie Wilson
"Global warming is a human rights issue," says Sheila Watt-Cloutier, Inuit activist and Nobel Peace Prize Nominee. In her lifetime, Watt-Cloutier has witnessed the drastic effects of climate change that threaten her community's livelihood and cultural identity. Watt-Cloutier testified in a hearing on March 1, 2007 to the  Inter-American Commission on Human Rights which was set up to investigate the relationship between human rights and climate change in North and South America. The hearing was a result of a petition that she and 62 other Inuit in Alaska and Canada filed in 2005 in an attempt to hold the United States accountable for its failure to curb greenhouse-gas emissions.

"Come Together"
Jan 7, 2007
Hello!
I've been spending hours exploring Care2 & groups & networks. And, so I wonder: Shouldn't  we ALL be friends?!?  Info would spread even more quickly, and, our groups would gain potency  -  helping our causes all the more!!  Please,  introduce me, my groups (I host two), my sharebook, etc. to all of your friends (& networks). The people with the power to actually cause improvements for our causes would certainly appreciate the backing of groups with huge numbers of backers! Of course, you can also invite me to others, too.
My new online graduate course just started, though, so my time available for communications will be irratic. However, I will still read & post & stay informed.
Thank you ~ It is extremely heartwarming finding others who also truly do CARE!!!
PEACE,
Kathleen  The Angel Power Emporium

Humans spent centuries conspiring to fly, so it might be hard to imagine that any creature would give up the skill, and yet penguins waddle among us. A new study helps confirm that these seabirds traded flight to become better swimmers.
